Eric Christopher Braeden

Much loved brother, Eric “Chris” Braeden (aka Moses Chrisco), 75, passed away on Nov. 17, 2016. A celebration of life to be held on Sunday, Nov. 27th at Spirit of Hope MCC, 3801 Wyandotte, Kansas City MO 64111 (816-931-0750). Visitation from 2-3 p.m. and Service from 3-4 p.m.

Eric was born Nov. 7, 1941 in Round Spring, MO. He resided with his oldest sister, Marian, who cared for him in his later years. Marian also helped to raise him when he was young. Eric enjoyed researching genealogy and believed knowing where we came from was an important piece of who we are today. He also loved watching history shows and spending time with his family as well as being with his church family.

He is survived by 4 sisters: Marian Peck, Mickey Layman, Marcella Walker and Debbie Carolyn Kassien as well as numerous nieces and nephews. Eric was preceded in death by his longtime partner, Charles Clark and 4 brothers, Jim Chrisco, Charles Chrisco, Darell Chrisco and Ronnie Chrisco.

In keeping with our Cherokee family history…

“Walking, I am listening to a deeper way. Suddenly all my ancestors are behind me.

Be still, they say. Watch and listen.

You are the result of the love of thousands.”
